Puerto Rico is considered by many to be a third world country, but technology is reaching there as quickly as in Romania and the Claro operator is already selling the iPhone 4S terminal. You probably think that the device is available at very high prices, right? Well not... in Puerto Rico iPhone 4S is available for purchase at only $99 with a monthly subscription of €47. Yes, you read that right, while operators in Romania sell iPhone 4S at prices starting at €179 for the same subscription, Puerto Rico sells it €100 cheaper.
Where does this difference come from? From the proximity to the USA, from the fact that taxes are lower, from the fact that the market is not that well developed, blah, blah, blah. In the end, the idea is that in Puerto Rico people have good prices, while in Romania iPhone 4S is available at high prices both at operators and in stores. This article was written with the idea of highlighting the "position" of our country in the world and the way in which the customers of the Apple company are treated, because in the end the high prices are imposed by Apple and not by the operators.
